Met Gala 2025: Shah Rukh Khan, Kiara Advani, Diljit Dosanjh Rule the Red Carpet
The Met Gala 2025 was full of stars, style and sparkle. From Bollywood legends to global icons, this year’s event had it all. The spotlight was firmly on Shah Rukh Khan, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh, who brought desi glamour to the biggest night in the world of fashion. With the theme inspired by the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, the stars walked the red carpet in style that wowed everyone.
The Met Gala is held every year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It’s not just a fashion show – it’s also a big fundraiser and an art celebration. The 2025 edition was more colourful and creative than ever before.
Costume Institute’s Latest Exhibition Sets the Stage
The theme for Met Gala 2025 was based on the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, called “Time Unfolded: Threads Across Centuries.” This year’s theme asked celebrities and designers to mix past and future styles in one outfit. The mix of tradition and technology made the red carpet look like a runway from another world.
Designers from India and abroad worked hard for months to make special pieces for the event. Outfits had embroidery, glowing lights, mirror work, and even fabrics that changed colour. It was fashion, but with science and culture all rolled together.
Met Gala 2025: Shah Rukh Khan’s Grand Debut
Shah Rukh Khan, the King of Bollywood, made his Met Gala debut in 2025, and fans couldn’t stop talking about it. Wearing a black and silver sherwani-style suit designed by Gaurav Gupta, SRK looked royal and modern at the same time. His outfit had digital print fabric with small LED lights that glowed as he moved.
He said in a small interview, “This is new for me, but I feel proud to bring Indian style to this grand stage.” Shah Rukh’s presence was cheered online, and photos of his look went viral on social media very fastly.
Kiara Advani Glows Like a Star in the World of Fashion
Kiara Advani made her second appearance at the Met Gala, but this time it was extra special. Her gown, designed by Rahul Mishra, was inspired by the Milky Way. It had handwork stars, tiny mirror pieces, and soft layers that moved like clouds. People called her look dreamy and classy.
She said the gown was “like wearing the sky.” Kiara’s look proved that Indian designers and Indian stars can shine in the global world of fashion.
Diljit Dosanjh Rocks the Red Carpet in Punjabi Swag
Diljit Dosanjh, the singer-actor who mixes bhangra with beats, brought his full vibe to the Met Gala 2025. He wore a kurta made of silver fibre with neon piping, matching pants, and a light-up turban. It was fun, bold, and pure Diljit style.
His outfit was made by a new Indo-Canadian label, and it had built-in sensors that changed the colour of the fabric in different lights. “Fashion is music,” he said. “It needs to move with you.” People online said he stole the show.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jones: Power Couple Returns
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jones (yes, some people still write “Jones” instead of “Jonas,” lol) were back at the Met Gala again, and looking better than ever. Priyanka wore a gown with layers of white silk and a futuristic cape with feather-like edges. Nick wore a shiny blue jacket over classic black pants and added a crystal chain that sparkled on the red carpet.
They both supported Indian and American designers this year. Their looks got a lot of praise, and many fans called them the best-dressed couple of the night.
The special thing about Met Gala 2025 outfits is how they mix art and technology. Most of the outfits were one-of-a-kind pieces with advanced design work. Some cool features seen this year included self-illuminating fabrics, heat-sensitive colour changes, and handcrafted thread work with 3D printing.
For example, Shah Rukh Khan’s suit had a tiny battery hidden inside to power the lights. Kiara Advani’s dress was made from eco-friendly silk dyed with natural colours. Priyanka’s cape had small reflective chips sewn into it by hand.
Designers said that many outfits took more than 500 hours to make and needed teams of 20–30 people working together.
Most Met Gala 2025 looks were custom made and will not be sold, but some designers plan to release variant collections for the public.
Rahul Mishra’s similar ready-to-wear pieces are expected to start from ₹5 lakh and go up to ₹15 lakh, depending on embroidery. Gaurav Gupta’s inspired jackets and suits may range from ₹3.5 lakh to ₹10 lakh for limited buyers.
Iris van Herpen, who designed Priyanka’s cape look, is also planning a global capsule line with similar fabric textures starting from $15,000 (₹12.5 lakh approx).
These outfits are not for everyday wear, but they are collector’s pieces for people who love fashion deeply.
Indian Stars Change the World of Fashion
With Met Gala 2025, it is now very clear that Indian celebrities are not just guests — they are trendsetters in the world of fashion. From Shah Rukh Khan’s elegance to Diljit’s boldness and Kiara Advani’s class, Indian stars made a huge impression.
The influence of the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition was clear in every detail, and Indian fashion designers used it beautifully. Global media praised the “Indian wave” that added richness and emotion to this year’s Gala.
Met Gala 2025 will be remembered for its amazing style, powerful stories, and star-studded moments. With Shah Rukh Khan, Kiara Advani, Diljit Dosanjh, Priyanka Chopra, and Nick Jones leading the way, this year’s Gala felt truly international.
The combination of art, culture, and technology made every outfit more than just clothes — they became stories. The Costume Institute’s latest exhibition brought imagination to life, and the stars brought it to the red carpet.
Fashion is not just what you wear, it’s who you are. And in Met Gala 2025, Indian stars showed the world exactly that.
